Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa

Rogelio is the best bartender at the pool. I come from the adult pool swim up bar and grab my drink because he’s so awesome. Remembers our names and is always super friendly.

We had the best time pool side during our trip from August 1-8th. Our waiter was Super Danny and hands down 10 out of 100. He kept the drinks flowing and my cup was never empty. He was always smiling and covered a wide range poolside. But it felt like he knew just when you were ready for a refill or hungry. If you ever come visit make sure you look for the guy with the S on his hat!! You won’t regret sitting in his section.

Super Danny did an incredible job, grateful to have him serve us.

We spent the past week at Playa Grande and I’ll say I was nervous about the choice based on some reviews I read. My conclusion - the people giving negative reviews must have unrealistic expectations. Everything was amazing (and I’m comparing it to other all inclusives and similar properties). The staff were friendly and attentive. The grounds were meticulously maintained. Room was large with a beautiful view of the ocean. Towels always available at the pools. Everything was clean. It was a perfect spot for us! And Julio Cesar at the adult pool kept us hydrated all week - he was wonderful! I don’t have much negative to say. I think it’s fair to say the food and drinks are expensive if you aren’t doing the all inclusive package. While most of the food was great, we did have a few things we didn’t care for but it was easy to get something else with the all inclusive package. I think I would have had a hard time with the prices if I had to think about it each time I ordered something. That said - you are very close to town so you can easily walk to restaurants off property if you aren’t doing the all inclusive package. You also can’t swim in ocean on that side - but the hotel provides lots of seating options around the pools to view the ocean. Also, the mini golf area could use some updating but we played and it was fine. Other than that, I can’t think of much. Thank you for a great vacation! I highly recommend this property.

service was 5 star , no complaints. Julio in restaurant was great server
